Tim is spending the rest of 2009 working on a series of drawings for an exhibition early next year at Knifesmith Gallery in Bristol, hoping to follow on from the success of October's exhibition there. The new show, in its early stages but will no doubt include examples of Tim's usual brand of intricate and darkly imaginative illustrations based on familiar (and not so familiar) literary sources.

About Tim Lane
Tim is inspired by the colourful and fascinating ceremonial rites of ancient cultures; celebrating the cycle of life and their provisions for death and the afterlife, music and the transforming quality of performance, characterful faces, faded glory and the fragility of life and civilization.
Tim Lane was born in Cheltenham and is now based in Bristol. He graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2004 with a first class (BA Hons) degree in Illustration.
Since then he has been concentrating on fine art painting and drawing, which was for him a natural progression from his degree, but which provides a far greater creative freedom enjoyed in terms of style and subject matter. The degree which focused mainly on book illustration helped to give structure to his love for working directly from his imagination and gives his art its narrative quality. It also encouraged a passion for drawing, which is at the core of all his work.
